Blog #1: Happy Valentime's Day!!!

The things I love that I will talk about are mainly foods and dumb stuff like that. I'm pretty sure my number 1 love is definitely is my xbox 360, and the game for it called call of duty modern warfare 2. I don't play xbox everyday, but whenever I am extremely bored I will play it for hours, and when I'm sick I'll play for the whole day. It is pointless, but addicting. Like I'll tell myself I'm only going to play one more match, and 2 more hours later I ask myself, wasn't I suppose to get off hours ago? Some more of my loves are Monster Energy Drinks, Arizona Ice Tea, Faygo, Ramen Noodles, Pizza Rolls, and Goldfish. I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to live without those things because I'm way too lazy to cook, and none of those things need to be cooked you just put in the microwave and press a button and they are amazingly good. Monsters are crap for you and can cause many problems if you drink too much of it over time, but I have at least one or two a week and keep the cans because they are cool. I also love music, like I'm pretty sure at least 80% of my brain is song lyrics. Plus I'm always singing a song in my head no matter what I'm doing. The Summer is a great love obviously because we get like 3 months off to do whatever we want. In the summer I pretty much come home whenever I want like even at 3 in the morning. I LOVE MEGAN FOX BECAUSE SHE IS A BABE. Most people love chocolate but I don't even like it that much. I love my family too just not my sister.

Too me all love is, is when you do something a lot that you like. Like for example if you play the guitar a lot or anything like that. I think you can even love something you hate like maybe a, ex girlfriend/boyfriend, or maybe your brother/sister. I also think you can love something without even meaning to like it is just instinct to love.
